w. i think kerry clearly beat bush in that first debate. >> sure? >> in 2004. bush i don't think was really prepared for it. bush didn't appreciate what he was up against and kerry is truly a skilled debater and that really came through in that debate. what happened after that was it wasn't just that kerry won the debate, it was the media set this up, teed it up for kerry, in the political media at the end of the day a certain segment wants a close competitive race and they had it. they had the moment, the game changer to use the cliches and began telling people we got a close race, we got a fight now and there's momentum generated from the coverage afterwards. >> one thing, one place i think that analogy breaks apart a little bit, as you said, john kerry is a very skilled debater and i think mitt romney is a good debater but i think john kerry has a higher level of skill and also had more fleshed out policy details so when he was pushed on those, he was able to fire back. and also i wou

w. i think you also sort of heard mitt romney downplay some of the talk that has been going on since the new york times reported over the weekend that, you know, mitt romney is preparing all the zingers for the debate and you heard people saying maybe he's not preparing zingers. a lot of this is the head fake to the head fake to the head fake. of course, mitt romney and the president are both probably working on lines of attack that they'll deliver at this debate. that is sort of standard operating procedure. you saw that scott brown, elizabeth warren debate last night in massachusetts. this is what campaigns do. this is what candidates do. but i will tell you that mitt romney has been behind closed doors for much of the day today, in debate preparations, brooke, with the sparring partner, ohio senator rob portman. and perhaps the day's most notable development in the day with not very many development is that they just stopped for lunch at chipotle. they put a wrap if you don't mind the

w. how -- from your perspective and from the commanders in the field, how do they assess the strategy and the withdraw schedule? >> you know, when i first got here i sat down with general allen, the commander of all the international forces here and i asked him, i said, is this 2014 withdraw timeline, is it too fast? are you having to train afghan forces too fast? he said in many ways it makes it easier for them, allows them to focus as they try to move on toward that goal. no general i've spoken to has contradicted the leadership from white house. they know where their marching orders come from. they've been given an order and say they can do it. by 2014 they can largely hand over control to afghan forces. they're working, andrea, from every level from the top elite afghan commandos right down to local police made up of villagers and some cases who don't wear uniforms, but they are training them. the sense is this is our marching orders, this is what we've been asked to do and this is w

w. hi. i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight's. is the president's foreign policy falling apart? that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. jon stewart now mocking president obama over the libyan assassination situation. that's not good news for the president because up until now, much of the liberal media has ignored the facts surrounding the terrorist attack on ambassador christopher stevens. last night stewart went to town. >> so the administration's story was anti-muslim video on youtube touched off a massive protest on vend to spread quickly to 27 other places. seems implausible, but two days later, they had an explanation for that, two. >> our current assessment is that what happened in benghazi was, in fact, initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in cairo. almost a copy cat of the demonstrations against our facility in cairo which were prompted, of course, by the video. >> copy cats. [ laughter ] libya wasn't the ring.
